Just 20 minutes from Perth Midland Tourist Park, Whiteman Park is one of Western Australia’s most beloved destinations for families, nature lovers, and heritage enthusiasts alike. Spanning more than 4,000 hectares of protected bushland, this unique park blends recreation, wildlife, and culture in one beautiful outdoor setting.
A Park with Something for Everyone
Whiteman Park is much more than open green space — it’s a full-day adventure. Start your visit with a peaceful bush walk along one of the park’s many trails, where you’ll spot kangaroos and native birdlife. Then wander over to Pia’s Place, the award-winning inclusive playground that keeps kids entertained for hours.
If you prefer a slower pace, settle in at one of the shaded picnic areas or enjoy a classic Aussie barbecue surrounded by eucalypts. With cafés, cycle paths, and wide open lawns, Whiteman Park makes it easy to relax and reconnect with the outdoors.
Step Back in Time
History buffs will love exploring Whiteman Park’s heritage precinct. Take a ride on the heritage electric tram or the Bennett Brook Railway, both operated by passionate volunteers. Stop by the Revolutions Transport Museum to see vintage vehicles that tell the story of Western Australia’s transport past. From antique cars to old-world buses, it’s a nostalgic trip for all ages.
Don’t miss the Motor Museum of WA, home to an impressive collection of classic and modern vehicles, including Daniel Ricciardo’s Formula One race car — a real highlight for motoring fans.
Wildlife Encounters
Animal lovers can head to Caversham Wildlife Park, located within Whiteman Park itself. Here, you can meet kangaroos, wombats, and koalas up close, or catch one of the park’s interactive shows and feeding sessions. It’s a great experience for visitors of all ages and an easy add-on to your Whiteman Park day out.
Plan Your Visit
Whiteman Park is open every day of the year, with free entry to most areas (fees apply for some attractions inside the park). Parking is plentiful, and public transport options are available from Perth City. The park is fully accessible, with paths, picnic facilities, and amenities for all visitors.
